My rev counter has stopped working. I undid the cable at the clock end and the cable only sort of spins now and again. It doesn’t appear to be broken so I guess it’s the drive in the crankcase. I can’t find any info on what I need to replace or how to do it. Has anyone got a guide to it? It’s not even mentioned as a thing in the Haynes book.
Remove the drive from the front top of the forward cylinder and check the cable, which is most likely broken.
Or, it's square and the drives, or cables can get rounded inside the joint, therefore just spinning without turning the otherside
Hi, I've a 97 SS and have a similar problem. Please don't take my advice..I know nothing. Anyway, by way of suggestion. Can you spin the bit where the tacho cable goes into the tach itself..you should be able to get a reading (small) on the tacho itself. Pull the inner (tacho) cable out. It should be squared at both ends but should have a brass ferrule at one end. This inner cable can be fitted either way around but the brass ferrule should be fitted at the tacho end. (Got that from a poster on here). The problem I had is that the ferrule moved on the inner cable and gave a problem similar to what you are experiencing. Like I said.... Far better people on here to take advice from and I use them a lot. Hope you get it sorted.
